The first newly-built Version 5 ACC yacht, Team Shosholoza's RSA-83, was christened by Mayor Rita Barbera yesterday on a perfect Spring day in Valencia. The South African Team celebrated the christening with over 800 VIP guests and a large media contingent from around the world. As has come to be the norm, the excellent Valencia Sailing website has some great pictures of Cup activity in and around VLC.
